Meh, throw this one away. The back side of a pre-season home and away back-to-back...blech.

Back then we were beating them with the young core group provided by Nonis and Burke. Gillis has done nothing to keep that rolling. And now Doug Wilson is out-GM'ing Gillis by a country mile. Wilson changed the look of the team from a slow and undisciplined team (Clowe and Murray) to a fast and tenacious team. San Jose has done some real good drafting for the positions they've been picking at over the last 10 years. We all seem to forget they also drafted this young hot shot Coyle who is with the Wild now.

Wilson is a brilliant GM.

Over the last 5 seasons the Sharks have won the same number of playoff series as Canucks (5).

They are slightly older than the Canucks and have a worse prospect pool.

If YOU were a Shark fan you’d be screaming that they’re an old team with a declining core…

Boyle,Thornton, Marleau, Havlat… and knowing YOU Pavelski…

with not enough youngstArs in the system to replace em.

So yeah the only person you’re fooling is yourself there Mr Dude.

The rest of us know you OH TOO WELL!

Yo Doc Bra, we wuz talking about the Sharks and Canucks head to head/versus each other over the last few while. It seemingly seems that Wilson's new look team has been a bit of a nightmare for the Canucks over the last while whereas, in the Clowe-Murray-Handzus days, we owned them. Whaddup widdat?
